Ravin Crossbows R050.1 Draw Weight 17 lbs 28.50" Long

The Ravin Crossbows R050.1 Draw Weight Crossbow is engineered for hunters who demand precision, speed, and reliability in the field season after season. At 28.50 inches in length and weighing just 17.1 pounds, this compact crossbow excels in tight timber stands, dense brush, and elevated positions where maneuverability matters as much as raw power. Ravin has built a reputation on delivering sub-second flight times and match-grade accuracy, and the R050.1 maintains that standard for serious bowhunters targeting whitetail, elk, and feral hogs across North America's varied terrain.

The 17-pound draw weight strikes an optimal balance between kinetic energy delivery and consistent, repeatable shootability—critical factors when you're threading bolts through ribs at 40 yards in fading light. This lighter draw weight reduces shooter fatigue during long sit-ins and simplifies cocking mechanics, whether using manual leverage or an optional cocking device. The platform's compact footprint doesn't sacrifice sight radius or rail length; Ravin's engineering maximizes bolt velocity and shot-to-shot consistency despite the reduced profile, making the R050.1 a serious performer for hunters who've learned that lightweight doesn't mean underpowered.

Hunters transitioning from rifles to crossbows, or upgrading from entry-level platforms, will appreciate the R050.1's versatility across stand types and hunting styles. The 28.50-inch length accommodates tree stands, ground blinds, and boat hunting without the awkwardness of longer models. Ravin's precision manufacturing and repeatable accuracy have earned trust among competitive 3D shooters and serious harvest hunters alike—this model suits both disciplines. Pair it with quality broadheads, practice regularly at your intended hunting distances, and you'll have a reliable tool for clean, ethical harvests when the moment comes.
